Abstract

An interface for a thin colour display panel 111 receives a clock signal CK, horizontal and vertical synchronisation signals Hsyc and Vsyc, and serial colour display data DR, DG and DB. An X-axis display area control circuit 101 receives Hsyc signals which are clocked by CK signals to a pulse generator 103. A Y-axis display area control circuit 102 receives both Hsyc and Vsyc signals and provides an output to generator 103. The generator 103 is clocked by CK signals to give an output to an RAM control circuit 104 when outputs from circuits 101 and 102 are present simultaneously. The RAM control circuit 104 is clocked by CK signals and by timing signals from a generator 109 to introduce the colour display data into RAM memories 105, 106 and 107. Colour display data stored in the RAM memories is extracted by a colour data treating circuit 108 to generate desired mixed colour data for an X-axis electrode driver 112. The timing signal generator 109 clocked by CK signals generates timing signals necessary for operating the driver 112 and a Y-axis electrode driver 110 for the thin colour display panel 111.
